No attention was paid to the message and when the wagon came opposite to the store, John McTindall came out i with bis gun and declared his intention to shoot unless they went in another direction. He drew the gun upon bis brother, and Roper caught hold of it. A struggle ensued between the two men, and they went some distance down ' the road when the gun fired and Roper was killed. 11 ? run nouu i I nt PRICE OF ONE. * X This ptp?r and tha Atlanta 1 Twl?a-a-W?aH Jawrnal far tn ""k t uifc&W .
